The Abyss of Consequence

Acrylic on Canvas

2024

This piece depicts the Earth gradually warming and cracking due to pollution, eventually transforming into a monstrous entity large enough to consume humanity. The creature’s twisted expression symbolizes its madness and discomfort, while humans also suffer in parallel. The hair of the human figures is styled as a tribute to Japanese writer Junji Ito's The Swarm, suggesting their entrapment in an inescapable disaster. The tongue emerging from the fractured Earth’s crust wraps around them, dragging them into the abyss, symbolizing the relentless forces of nature. The artwork serves as a warning, illustrating how humanity’s disregard for the environment and constant pollution will ultimately lead to its own demise, urging the need to cherish and protect nature before it’s too late.
